An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your Internet site. The log, which is also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you could need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.
Access Log Manager in Website Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be very simple when you get a website hosting from our company. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, included with all of the accounts, features a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs as well. As soon as you go there, you'll see a list of all the domain names hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start creating an access log for any of them as soon as you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can easily save and manage them on your PC or notebook.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it shall not take more than a few mouse clicks to activate the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function can be permitted from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done individually for each and every domain name or subdomain you have in your account. Whenever you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click will trigger the log generation and another one shall disable it, so you can control this feature with great simplicity. A Download link inside the same section will permit you to save the generated content as a text file, which you can then use on your computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
